Flush from the passage of Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in the state, the leaders say they want to extend the ban to Jews whose emphasis on in-marriage, they say, contravenes Scripture and promotes intolerance and segregation. 'In-marriage is against Scripture,' said one organizer. 'We are all God's children.'"
